If you've ever seen the movie "Breakhart Pass", starring Charles Bronson and Jill Ireland, that movie was shot on some of the railroad line between Lapwai and Winchester, Idaho, back in 1976.
Great video of an awesome railroad through some beautiful country.
(I pulled alot of paper towels and tissue loads out of Potlatch down HWY 95 to Las Vegas and L.A. in the early '90's - Lewiston and Clarkston are great towns.)
Wow, what an historic video! Too bad that much of line is now used to store empty centerbeam flat cars. It is an awesome line, I hope that it can be preserved.
Awesome video, thank you for documenting this amazing piece of railroad before it was too late, having two of my engines makes it even better. Is this track all torn up now, i heard part of it was purchased by another shortline. Btw are your pics available online, would love to see those too. And your son did a great job, better than alot of my vids:P
Great railfan. We had Railnet where I live for a few years but then CN bought them out and took over the yard. use to see them everymorning when I got up early because I live only about 75 or 100 yards away from the tracks.

Me and my grandpa just finished going over those trustles on a railroad speeder excursion on Memorial day. It was awsome.

How do you get involved in that? I'd like to take a speeder over Siskiyou Pass

First you have to be a member of the club. You then have to keep an eye out for the trip (excursion) that you want to go on.
